Basic Steps to Estate Planning, Step 3: Establish Your Directives

Directives are documents that are essential to have while you’re living. They cover financial and health considerations.

Included in these are Durable Powers of Attorney – giving a trusted person powers to transact a multitude of financial transactions; Medical Directions include Designation of Health Care Surrogates – someone to make health decisions; Living Wills – a document outlining end of life choices, HIPAA Waivers – giving people the right to speak to your physicians. And, there are others.
